The Panthers received a huge lift off the bench led by Christian Houston and Kevin James who contributed 17 and 15 points, respectively. Jordan Husley rounded out the double-digit scoring for the Panthers with 14 points on the night. Stillman’s Stanley Magee finished with a team-high 18 points on 9-of-15 shooting.
